North Carolina State University announced the newest cohort of Noyce Mathematics Education Teaching Scholars (METS). The Noyce METS program is funded with about $1 million from the National Science Foundation\u2019s Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program. NC State\u2019s local program aims to increase the number of highly qualified secondary mathematics teachers who double major in mathematics or statistics and mathematics education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The scholars work together as a community with faculty at NC State and teachers and students at local high-needs high schools. The principal investigator of the Noyce METS II program is Dr. Karen Hollebrands, Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor and Professor in Mathematics Education. The co-principal investigators are Drs. Hollylynne Lee, Laura Bottomley, and Molly Fenn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five scholars were recently selected to become a part of a national community of Noyce Scholars. As recipients, undergraduate students receive $36,000 for the last four semesters of their program to assist with tuition, living costs, conference travel, and technology materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graduate students pursuing a Master\u2019s degree in Mathematics Education leading to an initial license to teach middle or high school mathematics receive $25,000. Noyce Scholars develop an understanding of mathematics needed for teaching, are well prepared to be leaders in technological innovation for improving student understanding, and are committed to working with students in high-needs school districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
